Samsung Galaxy S11 launch date could be February 18th

Samsung Galaxy S11 series is the South Korean company's next flagship series now that it's done with the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 lineup. The Samsung Galaxy S11 series phones are not due until the first quarter of 2020. However, according to SamMobile, the flagships' launch event has been scheduled for the third week of February. While the publication is uncertain of this, its source claims the Samsung Galaxy S11 launch event will be held on February 18th. While this date might be less-than-certain, the timeline does fall in line with the company's launch history in the past.

Furthermore, the Samsung Galaxy S11 is said to ship with custom One UI 2.1 skin on top and may come with up to 1TB of internal storage. Like the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus, the upcoming S series flagship won't have a headphone jack. The upcoming Snapdragon 865 SoC could power the Samsung Galaxy S11 series flagships. The Galaxy S11 is also reported to feature an improved fingerprint sensor with a larger detection area compared to the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 models.

A recent camera leak suggested that the flagship will rock a 108-megapixel camera with 5x optical zoom. The Galaxy S11 is also said to come with the periscope-style camera setup, similar to OPPO Reno 10x Zoom. The 108MP sensor features a large 1/1.33-inch size, that is claimed to capture more light in low-lit settings than smaller sensors. What this means is that camera performance on the Galaxy S11 should witness a huge improvement. Noted tipster Ice Universe recently claimed that Samsung is also developing a Deep Fusion-like technology, to take on the iPhone 11 Pro. The technology takes multiple shots from which it chooses the best shot with better details, colours and white balance.
